Our busy property team provides a bespoke conveyancing service across England and Wales tailored to meet our clients’ needs.

We have a large and expanding team of skilled and respected property lawyers who pride themselves on their level of service, combining a traditional personal approach with speed and efficiency using the latest technology.

We are now seeking a Conveyancing Assistant who can support the team in delivering this excellent service.  The successful candidate will provide professional, proactive support to the team enabling them to remain organised and to work efficiently and effectively. 

You will be providing legal support to fee earners with both administrative tasks and pre/post completion work on property transactions.

You will be opening client files, using the firm’s IT systems and packages, preparing standard form contract documentation, checking client ID, dealing with client enquires and providing progress reports to clients, assisting lawyers with exchange of contracts and completion, preparing, and filing Stamp Duty returns, attending to registration of title, and closing and archiving files on completion of matters.

What we’re looking for

This role will require the successful candidate to be in our Teignmouth office 5 days a week.
